A man was fatally shot on Thanksgiving and his brother has been arrested, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.

Deputies responded to a report of a shooting in the 30 block of Marigold Lane shortly after 5:30 p.m., JPSO said in a press release.

There, they found a man shot, lying in the street. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The vehicle was later spotted near Ames and Lapalco boulevards. Deputies say the driver refused to stop and led them on a pursuit up to the 100 block of Jean Lafitte Blvd. There, he fled on foot before being caught and detained.

Deputies say they found a firearm along the path he took while fleeing on foot.
